Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 576 A bloody case caused by corruption and deficit ([-])
There was no one there, only Tang Ning was seated on top, Zhu Zhongwen stepped forward to salute, "Disciple pays respects to Master Tang."

Tangning waved her hands, "Sit down!"

"Yes." Zhu Zhongwen took his seat as promised, and the hall was completely silent.

Zhu Zhongwen's thoughts were fluctuating, and he couldn't help asking: "Uncle Tang, I don't know why you urgently called me here this time?"

Tangning glanced at him, "Let's wait until the disciples from other departments arrive to announce!"

Zhu Zhongwen didn't ask any more questions. Not long after, deacons from the Yuanzi Department, the Internal Supervision Department, the External Imperial Department, and the Inspection Department called one after another.

Tangning slowly opened her mouth and said, "Today, news reached the sect that disciples from the Supervision Department and our disciples from the Yuanyi Hall clashed in the border of Wu State, resulting in serious consequences of two deaths and dozens of injuries."

"The head teacher is furious. He needs to thoroughly investigate this matter and order the Supervision Department, the Staff Department, and the Sili Department to arrest all the disciples responsible for purchasing supplies and bring them back to the sect. They will be judged and convicted by the three departments."

"This time, the Inspectorate was ordered by the head teacher to go down the mountain to investigate the shortage of material purchases. They were stopped by the purchasing disciples, and a fight broke out between the two sides. Just now, the head teacher has ordered to arrest and interrogate all the managers in charge of procurement in the Yuanyi Palace. Check the financial deficit."

After Tangning finished speaking, the expressions of the people below were all different and ugly.

"Talk about it! How do you think this matter should be handled? The matter started in our Yuanyi Palace, so we have to take an attitude."

Everyone bowed their heads without saying a word, and Tangning didn't rush them, so the hall fell into silence for a moment.

After a long time, Zhu Zhongwen coughed lightly: "I will definitely investigate this matter after I go back, and I will ask my uncle to show me how to deal with it."

Several other people also expressed their position that they would strictly investigate.

Tang Ning said, "The deficit was discovered by Cheng Xian, the inspector of the Internal Supervision Department, and reported to the head. This is a good job. He Ming, as the deacon of the Internal Supervision Department, why didn't you find out about it?"

When several people heard this, they looked at him almost at the same time. He Ming's face darkened and he said, "I'm not strict with my subordinates, I'm responsible for negligence."

Tang Ning said, "Go back and investigate this matter strictly. The shortfall in the procurement of materials this time is as high as [-] to [-] spirit stones. I don't care what method you use, the shortfall of spirit stones must be made up."

"The Zongmen is now strictly investigating this matter. The head teacher has ordered the supervisory department to arrest and interrogate the stewards in charge of the specific matters of this matter. How to deal with it, you can figure it out! If someone is involved, don't blame me for not reminding you .”

"Yes." Several people responded.

"Go! I'll give you seven days to give the sect an explanation, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be the one talking to you."

Several people trembled, nodded and said yes, got up and left the hall.

........................

In the interrogation room of the Supervision Department, Wu Zifeng, the deacon, sat high on it, and several other stewards lined up on both sides, looking down at Fang Xun as if they were examining a prisoner.

"Fang Xun, as the person in charge of purchasing materials in the Palm Printing Department, all the list of materials and the distribution of spirit stones must go through you. The sect allocated two million spirit stones, and the deficit is as high as eighty or nine hundred thousand. You just don't know. I'm afraid." Can't justify it!" Wu Zifeng said.

Fang Xun was expressionless: "I am only responsible for the list of materials and the transfer of spirit stones to sign. The specific procurement matters are the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the disciples of the Economic and Trade Department, and have nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Wu Zifeng flipped his left hand, took out a file, and said, "The signature on this file is you, right? The Huoyan Stone is three hundred catties and ten thousand spirit stones, and Wu Si is one hundred catties and three thousand spirit stones. One thousand catties of spruce and twenty thousand spiritual stones, two hundred catties of red face liquid and five thousand spiritual stones, as well as gold rock mines, child marbles, blood mother silk, etc., I will not describe them one by one.”

"The quotations for all the items in the above list are twice the market price. We still have a lot of dossier lists like this, and each one is signed by you. Don't you need to explain?"

Fang Xun said: "Uncle Tang entrusted us with the task of snapping up all the training materials for alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and formation making as soon as possible. This list is indeed a little higher than the market price, but you should know that the market price is There are unstable fluctuations."

"It's normal for the price of the same thing to vary from high to low. Price fluctuations depend on the relationship between supply and demand. It's like Xingang's high-level pills, spiritual weapons, and spiritual weapons are all [-]% more expensive than the market prices outside."

"The so-called rarity is the most expensive. We purchase these cultivation materials in large quantities outside the sect, resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand. Those shops saw us rushing to buy them in large quantities, so they raised the price. Is it any wonder?"

"We are rushing to buy these materials in Wu and Qi, and the practice families under them will not give us face."

"Furthermore, I am in charge of the palm printing department. The specific matters of purchasing materials are carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Economic and Trade Department. If the price is too high, you should ask them, not me. I am only responsible for the execution of the sect. The order, just sign the list and distribute the spirit stones."

Wu Zifeng said: "Execute the order of the sect? You mean someone asked you to sign the list. Who is this person?"

Fang Xun said: "I didn't say that. The Zongmen's order is to let me coordinate the purchase of materials. As for the price, it has nothing to do with me."

Wu Zifeng dug out another dossier again, and said, "The above list is collected directly from the family shops that Chu State has good relations with us. Why is the price still higher than the market price?"

Fang Xun said: "Didn't I just say that? The price fluctuations in the market are normal. The task given to us by the higher authorities is to rush to buy supplies as soon as possible. What's so strange about the high prices? You should ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Economic and Trade Department about these things. "

"Why was the team sent by the Supervision Department to investigate the deficit blocked by your Yuanyi Palace? Who gave them the order?"

"This matter has nothing to do with me." Fang Xun said hastily. He knew in his heart that it was a trivial matter to be short of money and greedy for money. Mutual murder between disciples was a serious crime. : "I was in the sect at the time, so I didn't know about it at all."

Wu Zifeng questioned again about the specific details of the purchased materials, and Fang Xun answered fluently.

"Let's stop here for today! Brother Fang, stay here and tell the disciples on duty if you have anything to tell." Wu Zifeng said, and everyone from the inspection department filed out, left the interrogation room, and closed the heavy stone door.

The room was dark for a moment, Fang Xun sighed softly, and slowly closed his eyes. After an unknown amount of time, he heard a clicking sound.

Fang Xun suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look, the heavy stone door was slowly pushed open, and a fat man with big ears walked in from the outside. He dodged and saluted: "Master Fang, I am Zhang, a disciple of the Inspectorate Department." Yang, by order of your uncle Zhu Zhongwen, I have a letter for you."

After the man finished speaking, he flipped his left hand, took out a letter and handed it to him.

Fang Xun hurriedly took it and opened it for a look. After a while, he returned the letter to the man, and said, "Report to Senior Brother Zhu, I know what to do, so he doesn't have to worry. As for the Lingshi, you can go to your wife." .”

The man said: "Uncle Zhu asked me to bring a message, he will do his best to help you, but this time the head is furious, he can't guarantee the result, if you need anything, just talk to him."

Fang Xun said: "My wife is about to attack Foundation Establishment, please take care of me."

"Okay, I will definitely bring the words to you, Master Fang, I will take my leave first."

Fang Xun nodded, the man left the room and closed the stone door.

.....................

A few days passed in a flash, and the disciples who purchased the supplies have been escorted back to the sect one after another, and the tripartite trial is in progress.

In Peng Wanli's cave, Tangning sat opposite him.

The two chatted for a long time before Tangning got up to leave and returned to her cave.

About two or three hours later, there was a knock on the door outside, Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and entered, bowed and said: "Master Uncle, Master Zhu Zhongwen from the Outer Palm Printing Department is asking to see you." "

"Please come in."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng took the order to leave. Not long after, Zhu Zhongwen came in from the outside, sat down after saluting and said, "Uncle Master, after strict inspection by the disciples, the shortage of supplies has come to fruition. Why is there such a big problem?" The shortfalls are all caused by the disciples who are in charge of specific affairs deceiving the upper and lower."

"They cooperated with the shops to purchase cultivation materials at a price much higher than the market, and then the shops returned the higher profits to them. After being reprimanded and punished by the disciples, they all admitted their mistakes and returned the short-lived spirit stones."

"All the spirit stones have been entered into the Yuanzi Department. Here is the detailed list of the spirit stones returned by each department. There are a total of [-] spirit stones. Please have a look."

Zhu Zhongwen turned his left hand, took out a file and handed it to him.

Tangning waved her hand, "You can handle these things yourself. You don't need to ask me for instructions. Let's call it a day!"

"This time, something like this happened in the Yuanyi Palace, and my respected teacher and I have no brilliance on our faces. I don't want this kind of thing to happen next time. As the deacon of the Palm Printing Department, you can decide all the financial expenses of the sect with one word. , Those subordinates should also take care of it.”

"Two million spirit stones dare to take [-] to [-]. How can the sect's finances not be tight? What do other temples think of us? If something like this happens again, I will be ashamed to stay in this position."

Zhu Zhongwen said: "Yes, the disciple has a heavy entrustment, please punish the master."

"Punishment is a pitiful method. Since the short-lived spirit stones have entered the resource department, let's use them to purchase supplies! You are still in charge."

"Yes, disciples must remember this lesson, and strictly urge subordinate disciples from now on." Zhu Zhongwen replied, pondering for a while: "Uncle, how will the sect deal with Junior Brother Fang Xun?"

"As the steward in charge of specific affairs, of course he has to bear certain responsibilities."

Zhu Zhongwen nodded without saying anything, got up and left.

As the days passed, the tripartite trial finally came to an end, and the whole incident came to an end.

Two captains of the Imperial Department outside Yuanyi Hall were sentenced to death for mutilating their fellow disciples, and the rest of the disciples who participated in the fighting were sentenced to prison terms ranging from [-] to [-] years.

In addition, the disciples of various ministries involved in corruption and corruption of ink were sentenced to ten to fifty years in prison, including the stewards in charge of the matter. A total of [-] disciples were sentenced to punishment.

The incident was announced to the entire sect, causing a great sensation.
